The appetizer comes in the form of the very first poster for the sequel, sporting the main players - and a tagline perfectly in keeping with the original film's. It may not be the extensive look at the cast, new characters, new threats or ties to the larger Marvel universe some will hope for, but it's downright dripping in the kind of confident, throwback attitude audiences expect.

The reveal came courtesy of director James Gunn via Twitter, dropping the very first glimpse of Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Yondu, Nebula, Rocket - and yes, Baby Groot. Take a look below:

The tagline of simply "Obviously." is a fitting follow-up to the first film's "You're Welcome." and just as deftly kicks off the swagger and confidence of what many expect to be a particularly potent marketing campaign. Honestly, given the box office success of the original film - making characters like Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon and Groot household names - and the added cuteness factor of the diminutive 'Baby Groot,' the sequel may have quickly become Marvel's most anticipated film for mass audiences.

Gunn took to Twitter immediately after releasing the trailer to confirm that the other new member of the team, Mantis (Pom Klementieff) will be highlighted shortly once the full marketing commences. Still, the blend of black-and-white album cover aesthetic helps set Guardians 2 apart from the traditional superhero posters fans will be used to seeing. And if the casual-yet-angsty expressions conjure of feelings of a 1980s coming of age story, it's probably no accident: this is a movie about family, after all.

What do you think of the first official poster for Vol. 2? Does the tagline ring true, embracing the surprising success and supremacy of the first film? Sound off in the comments.
